AOA Breeder Cup Award
Alpaca Owners Association, Inc. (AOA) would like to recognize the breeders that participate in the AOA National Halter Show and the AOA National Fleece Show. Breeder cups are awarded at both shows, separated by breed. Four breeder cups are awarded in three divisions: Classic, Vintage, and Heirloom. Points are awarded and accrued separately for entries and placements in each category. Cups will be awarded to the breeders who achieve the highest point average based upon their total points accrued and their number of entries in their respective cup divisions. Winners will be announced at the shows after the results are tabulated.
